Joe and Mary Lou Szabo are very talented people. Not only does Joe create and teach intarsia, he also builds period reproductions. I chose to feature his intarsia because it is such an unusual skill. Above I show 3 game boards, but also two other designs that can be applied to furniture, boxes or framed. Intarsia is art. A careful choice of woods provides the unusual textures and colors, and stains or paints are rarely used. From large religious icons to corporate logos, intarsia can be used just about anywhere.
